Film Details

Known as the “Csángó Madonna,” Ilona Nyisztor is a singer and teacher, but above all, the voice of the Csángó community in Moldova. Navigating between modern city life and the reality of her native village, Pustiana, Ilona narrates her own story. Through ancient carols, dance rehearsals, and pilgrimages like the one to Șumuleu Ciuc, we discover what it means to live your identity as an act of cultural resistance. A stylized portrait about roots, language, and continuity.
